Hey guys

 

I had an idea for a laptop fan that i wanted to build myself( its a mac from 2011, they have major heating problems O.o). I have this behemoth air filter that blasts air through the top of it at high speed, so i was thinking why not try to make it a fan? The only thing i need to do is somehow make it stay put on top of that.

Just use a flexible air duct, and connect it from the filter to the notebook

This way you dont need to use the notebook directly on top of the filter
